1) Agents, as a whole, do not exist to the public. This is like Thieves in DR.
2) Agents, as a whole, DO exist to the public, but who is or isn't an agent is still secret. This is like being FBI, CIA, etc.

As far as I know, the situation is number two. Agents do exist, but who is an agent is kept secret.

But yesterday when I said there was an Agent tent, some said I shouldn't talk of those things publicly. So now I'm just confused._________________A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

How I personally see it is that Agents are publicly recognized as locksmiths and are well-known for subterfuge as well. Individuals can decide on their own whether or not to be recognized as such._________________pro.gram.mer (n) - a device which converts caffeine into code
